Mavea TechnologyThe unique Filtration Technology is made of an unparalleled combination of a natural MicroporeFilter and an effective ProtectFilter.

The MicroporeFilter with its extremely small and porous structure absorbs microscopic particles from the water. This makes the filter extremely efficient in reducing undesired substances that affect taste and odour, such as chlorine, chlorine compounds and organic impurities.

The ProtectFilter reduces limescale for the protection of domestic appliances from limescale build-up. Additionally it reduces metals (such as copper or lead) which can occur in particular via household piping for your well being.

Perfect filtration takes time. That is why the unique FlowControl has been developed, to ensure perfect filtration time for optimum results and to make Mavea-filtered water even better.

Mavea Maxtra FlowControlThe FlowControl leads to a consistent flow rate through the cartridge for an improved water filtration.

Contact times between water and filter cartridge contents have been optimized for your convenience and their best ever performance!

FlowControl - for the best ever Mavea-filtered water!

Suggested Use

To ensure that you get the best results from your Mavea water filter system, please follow the instructions carefully.

1. Cleaning Instructions for Your New Mavea Water Filter Before First Use and Prior to Every Filter Change.

Pitcher and Reservoir

Clean the pitcher and reservoir in the dishwasher or hand-wash with a mild detergent.

Lid with Mavea Meter(Elemaris models only)

The lid is dishwasher-safe, but the Mavea Meter is not dishwasher safe and must be removed and hand-washed.

To remove the Mavea Meter from the lid, press the two tongues on each side of the indicator and tilt it back for complete removal.

To re-assemble the Mavea Meter back into the lid, please turn the lid on its back and insert the indicator into the lid. Put the hook under the “START” button into its assembly jig in the lid. Tilt the indicator face forward until it “clicks” firmly into place.

2. Filter Installation

Remove the protective wrapper from the Mavea Maxtra filter. (Note: The filter may be damp from steam sterilization.)

Immerse the filter in cold water for a few seconds and shake it gently to remove any air bubbles.

Place the filter into the hollow of the reservoir and push downwards until it "clicks" firmly into place.

Activate the filter by filtering through two fillings of the reservoir. Discard this water afterwards or use it for your plants.

3. Filling the PitcherThe filling method depends on the features in the lid of your Mavea water filter model. The water in the reservoir is automatically filtered and flows into the pitcher.

Mavea water filter with automatic pour through lid.

Hook the front of the lid into the assembly jigs in the pitcher and press it down towards the handle.

Fill your Mavea water filter directly under the tap with cold water. The stream of tap water activates the automatic pour through lid.

The pour through lid closes automatically when the maximum filling level has been reached.

Mavea water filter with flip top lid.

Carefully press the lid onto the pitcher until it is in place.

Open the flip top lid and place the opening under the tap.

Fill your Mavea water filter directly under the tap with cold water.

Mavea water filter with standard opening

Remove the lid and fill the reservoir with cold tap water.

Press the lid onto the pitcher until it is in place.

4. Setting Filter Change Indicator (Memo or Mavea Meter)Your Mavea filter change indicator will prompt you when two months have passed and it is time to change the filter. The indicator is in the lid of your Mavea water filter pitcher.

Ensure that you have a new Mavea Maxtra filter ready for exchange. Store your Mavea Maxtra filters in their original wrapping in a cool and dry place.

Over the lifetime of the Mavea water filter you may notice limescale build-up on the lid and the automatic pour through lid. This is due to the fact that it always comes into contact with unfiltered water, which contains carbonate hardness (limescale). Mavea recommends that you clean your lid regularly with common household decalcifier.

Should your Mavea water filter not be in use for a prolonged period (e.g. holiday), Mavea recommends that you take out the filter, discard any water left inside the Mavea water filter and insert the filter again. Before using your Mavea water filter again, follow the “Filter Installation” procedures in section II.2.

If your Mavea water pitcher has been in contact with food that is likely to cause discoloration (e.g. tomato ketchup, mustard) clean your Mavea pitcher promptly. To avoid possible discoloration of your Mavea pitcher, do not include it in a dishwasher containing dirty dishes from such foods.

For consumers in the USA: Make certain that the system’s use complies with state and local laws and regulations.

For Optimal Filtration Performance

Replace the Mavea Maxtra water filter every 40 gallons/151 liters (approximately once every 2 months for the average family). Filter cold water only (maximum temperature: 85ºF/29ºC, minimum temperature: 33ºF/0.6ºC).

Boiling Filtered Water

The Mavea water filter pitcher is designed for use only with micro-biologically and chemically safe drinking water (municipally treated tap water or water from private supplies which has been approved as safe to drink). Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. If an instruction is received from authorities that water must be boiled, the filtered water must also be boiled. When the instruction to boil water is no longer in force, the entire system must be properly cleaned and a new cartridge inserted.

For certain groups of people (e.g. those with impaired immunity and for babies), it is generally recommended that tap water should be boiled; this also applies to filtered water.

Sensitive to Potassium?

During the filtering process, there may be a slight increase in potassium content. Note that one liter/0.26 gallons of Mavea filtered water contains less potassium than an apple or banana. However, if you have kidney disease and/or follow a potassium restricted diet, we recommend that you consult your doctor before using a Mavea water filter.

Natural Traces

Like any natural product, the consistency of activated carbon is subject to natural variance. This can lead to a slight abrasion of small carbon particles into your filtered water, noticeable as black bits. These particles have no negative health effects and are not harmful if consumed. In case you observe carbon particles, Mavea recommends flushing the filter several times, until the black bits disappear.

Correctly Dispose of Mavea Maxtra

The Mavea Maxtra have a life of approximately five years. At the end of their life please remember that these devices contain batteries and must be disposed according to all applicable laws and regulations.

To remove the exhausted Mavea Maxtra follow step 1 of the “Installation and Usage instructions”.
